Here is yet again another blueprint project that I have been wanting to put together for some time. I was able to track down good photos of a 1969 Plymouth GTX like I had owned many years ago. From these photos I created the artwork for the project. This took me around a week to put together using Corel Draw. After that I just needed to find the specs for the car that I wanted for the project.
The finished display is 10.5" X 18" in size so it looks really good in my “Gallery” here at home. Enjoy the photos and let me know what you think of my latest effort.
The posts I used for the project are nothing more than stainless steel button head capscrews (bolts) you can find at your local home and builders store. I then made a simple framework glued on the back of the display to hang it on the wall.
The answer to both questions is no. The project is actually quite simple. I created the artwork on my computer and then brought it along with the text over to my Glowforge. There the artwork and text were engraved on to a clear piece of acrylic. This then was attached to a blue acrylic which give the effect of turning it into a blueprint. Both pieces of acrylic were then bolted together using button head stainless steel bolts. A simple framework was designed and glued to the back of the display to make it easy to hang on the wall and also offset it from the wall at the same time. Gives it a nice effect all the way around. Simple to do with a great look as well.
